Dr. Rahul Bhatia

Dr. Rahul Bhatia is a Consultant Ophthalmologist and Vitreo-Retina Specialist based in New Delhi, with over eight years of experience in comprehensive eye care. He is particularly known for his expertise in the medical and surgical management of retinal conditions — from diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration to retinal detachment and macular hole surgery. Patients and referring physicians trust him for his calm, methodical approach to even the most complex cases.

Dr. Bhatia completed his Master of Surgery in Ophthalmology at Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital in Delhi, a well-regarded public teaching institution with a high volume of clinical cases. He then went on to pursue focused superspeciality training in Vitreo-Retina and Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) at Lady Hardinge Medical College — one of Asia's largest tertiary-care paediatric hospitals. This training gave him a rare combination of adult retinal surgery skills and hands-on experience managing ROP in premature newborns.

What patients consistently appreciate about Dr. Bhatia is his ability to explain complex eye conditions in plain, reassuring language. He takes time to understand each person's situation, builds a tailored treatment plan, and makes sure patients and their families feel genuinely informed — not just processed. His practice is grounded in evidence-based medicine, compassion, and a commitment to long-term outcomes rather than quick fixes.

For international patients traveling to India for eye care, Dr. Bhatia's dual-location practice across Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital's Preet Vihar and Rajouri Garden clinics in Delhi offers flexibility and continuity. Whether you are seeking cataract surgery, a second opinion on a retinal condition, or ongoing management of diabetic eye disease, Gaf Healthcare can help coordinate your consultation, travel, and follow-up care with ease.
